Got finally home last night... what a positive experience! Many thanks to my kind customers, the most welcoming ''colleagues' with tables (@BackyardBullion, @AgD, @Numistacker, @SovTracker and@InvestInCoins888), and all the fellow forum members who dropped by in the lounge. Had some good chuckles, and most of all got some invaluable information; lessons on grading and other hard-to-get advice (I'm now on the prowl for the Aussie sov variants @SovTracker tipped about, shhh...) 😁  
Yep, Tyler sure had it coming with the lobster. Never play with your food, I says (instant karma). 🦞 Thank you @Numistacker, @SovTracker and @shawy2510 for very pleasant dinner company! 👍👍
Yours sincerely, 'Clive' 😅

Was my first coin fair and I'm fairly new to this world. Thank you to everyone I met in the lounge and your patience and kindness with my questions. So happy to have my first silver pieces from @InvestInCoins888 and @jultorsk, what amazing prices. And great to meet @Numistacker and @BackyardBullion  see you all at the next one. 

Went to the coin show for the first time went to the silver forum room and meet a few people and brought these bits ,will diffidently be going again 👍🏿
 
 

I’ve invested in a iZettle. It was only £19 a few months ago, fees similar to PayPal and money goes into my bank account. It accepts a wide range of payments, cc, dc and Apple Pay. The device uses Bluetooth off my phone. 
I figure with some coins at nearly a grand in price, I’m better off with a card machine for fairs etc...

Absolutely, I just mentioned it above to Chris.
I plan on using this as my Pouring mug. Why not????? its a way to showcase the Silver Forum but at the same time I will have another cup on the go.. LOL

Chris, it is centred perfectly, The things I noticed were the colour is different. Not a bad thing.
And being honest it could have been slightly bigger, but again its absolutely fine as it is. This will be my workshop Mug, and I will use it when pouring silver. So it should pop up in videos. Also I unboxed it LIVE today whilst I was testing my livestreaming. I was surprised that I did not get any notifications about it coming. And it just showed up.
Anyway thank you for considering my suggestion. I have paid a lot more for a mug. But as I said, I am happy to support and show my commitment to the group. And I couldn't resist buying a Mug after I suggested it... That would have been and looked very bad on my behalf. LOL.
Here is wishing your mug turns up soon. Have a great day.
Jon

My mug has arrived 

I just bought one as well. It'll have people guessing what the symbol is for those who haven't heard of the forum. I'll tell 'em it has a brutal meaning

A suggestion from @jonrms was to have some TSF branded mugs, thank you for this suggestion. 

You may have noticed the small design improvement on the forum, where the TSF T logo shows as an icon next to the forums. Dark grey indicating there are unread topics/posts in that forum and light grey to indicated that those forums have been read by you and there are currently no new posts/topics.

I thought that this was a perfect logo to include on a mug. The contemporary grey logo design will look great in any kitchen, or on any desk. 

I have already ordered one of these for myself, I know looks are subject, but I personally love the design. When this arrives I will try to upload some photos  

100% of the profits received from the sale of these mugs will go directly into marketing TSF!

@5huggy there won’t be any for this LCF event as they won’t be produced in time.
I may run a teespring campaign again soon, if I can’t find an alternative supplier with sublimation printing for a better cost / quality. 

For those that are attending if you could take some photos / video of The Silver Forum Lounge it would be great! And useful to help market the next show!  

ALL table space has been booked! Thank you for reserving, should be an awesome event! 

As previously stated I would like to hire a full table and will be bringing about 40 Graded Sovereign's to sell and a few other Boxed / Raw. 

Booked my train yesterday so I am 100% going

Just booked travel / accomodation for the weekend, her good self is very happy...
Just have to find a way to break it to her that we are going to the coin fair!

Bunch of proof stuff on HGM website that may interest someone. 8% over spot for the boxed sets, 7% over spot for the £5 proof and £2 proof, 5% over spot for the proof sovereign. 
I wonder who decided to sell a bunch of boxed proof sets over-the-counter below spot? 😬

I'll try to come for a look, but don't have anything (in this country) to display.
